Your airline transport pilot certificate, explained by someone who has spent a career on both sides of the checkride.

Ready for the top of the ladder? Cleared for the Flight Deck is a warm, witty and thoroughly practical guide to earning the airline transport pilot (ATP) certificate, written by Evelyn Schmidt Van Dyck, a longtime flight instructor and former FAA Designated Pilot Examiner. She explains what the regulations actually say, what the examiner is really looking for, and how to turn the hours in your logbook into the judgment of a captain.

The companion to Cleared for Takeoff, Cleared for the Approach, Cleared for Hire, Cleared for Two, Cleared to Teach, Cleared to Teach the Approach and Cleared to Teach Multi-Engine, and followed by Cleared for Heavy Metal, this book picks up where your commercial and instrument flying left off. It skips what you've already mastered and concentrates on what's new: transport-category airplanes, flying as a crew, and proving on a checkride that you're ready to be the pilot in command of an airliner.

PART ONE: THE WRITTEN TEST AND THE CTP
What the ATP is, what it lets you do, and who is eligible. You'll learn what the ATP Certification Training Program covers in its 30 classroom hours and 10 simulator hours, and why it exists. Then come high-altitude aerodynamics and transport performance (Mach, swept wings, the coffin corner, upset prevention and recovery, V1, VR and V2), air carrier operations and human factors, and a clear plan for the ATM knowledge test, including the traps that catch good pilots.
